Fascinating Knowledge of Questionable Value

This is part four of a series (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 5) covering several ways that humanity’s time on Earth could conceivably come to an end. The study of the apocalypse, known as eschatology has been a pervasive force in religion, science, and popular culture since the development of the first cultures on Earth. Some of the theories about the end of days are more plausible than others, but all are thought-provoking nonetheless. In Part Three, I describe some of the ways our world could end due to Catastrophies Caused by Humans. Cheers to the end!

Here we are, my friends. If all goes according to the Mayas’ plan, the world will end tomorrow. In Part One of this series, I talked about why the Maya think that the world will end in less than 36 hours. In Part Two, I described several deadly (and highly unlikely) natural disasters from space that could end our time on Earth. In Part Three, I described several devastating Earth-borne disasters that could end our civilization. Now, I will talk about one of the most ironic ways in which the our could end: because of us. Why is this serious? Because unlike gamma-ray bursts, giant volcanoes, and massive hurricanes, we have the power the end the world tomorrow…if we wanted to.

Two days left people. In less than 72 hours, our world will come to an end. Probably not actually (unless you’re a Jets fan and Tebow requests a trade) but I couldn’t resist a little drama! In Part One of this series, I talked about why the Maya think that the world will end on Friday. In Part Two, I described several deadly (and highly unlikely) natural disasters from space that could end our time on Earth. Now, I will talk about a few natural disasters originating from Earth that would end human civilization; however, unlike some of the rare cosmic disasters described before, we know that some of these have definitely occurred before…and we expect them to occur again very soon.

We’ve all seen the movies: asteroids and comets, earthquakes and volcanoes, solar flares and gamma-ray bursts…all natural ways in which our world can come to an end. And while the most popular films are also the least scientifically accurate, the events that they portray are rooted in fact. Follow the break to read about a few of the most common apocalyptic natural disasters, as well as a few you probably have never heard of.

Whether you love Apple or hate Apple, it is universally agreed upon that its new Apple Maps app (Still) royally sucks. And now, not only is it funky and confusing, but in some cases it can get you so lost that you will be left fighting for your life!!
